I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.

I will always work for human rights for all people.

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground.

As long as people use tactics to oppress or restrict other people from being free, there is work to be done.

You cannot always control the powers-that-be. You just have to have faith and stand by the things you believe in.

Racial pride and self-dignity were emphasized in my family and community.

Black women are very capable of leading our organizations. I believe that firmly.
